New Buffalo

Sally Russel, aka Sally Seltmann, aka New Buffalo comes fresh from down under (that’s Australia for those who are wondering) and brings with her a unique sound in the vein of Regina Spektor and Leslie Feist. Her delicate voice just flutters over sparse but angelic rhythms (see “I’m the Drunk and You’re The Star”). “Versary” has a Three Dog Night like beat that has her voice lulling the listener into a den of sound (and the bells are a nice touch). And my favorite “Emotional Champs” is what Sufjan Stevens would sound like if he had two x chromosomes.
So go on and enjoy.

Buy Somewhere, Anywhere.
Listen to “Emotional Champs” (4.7/5)
Listen to “I’m the Drunk and You’re The Star” (4.5/5)
